Botanica is a collection of historical-looking nature prints on handmade Japanese paper (Mura Koban). Seen as part of a larger herbarium, these fragile imprints are seemingly illuminated and preserved in solid, but arcane ‘books of study’ in the accompanying Botanica Folio. 2015 images reference familar/exotic trees identified near my studio in Mexico. I plan to continue this collection with plants identified at specific residencies in Canada and elsewhere.
